Building upon my demonstrated dedication and success within the MSRC, exemplified by my recognition as the Best New Representative of the term, I eagerly embrace the opportunity to serve as the Third Year Representative. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to efficiency, I am well-equipped to act as a liaison between MSRC, the Year 3 medical school team, and our cohort.

My experience as an International Representative has provided me with valuable insights into the inner workings of the MSRC, motivating me to shape its mission and goals. As a passionate advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), I am dedicated to fostering an environment where every student feels valued and heard.

In this role, I will diligently gather feedback from our year group, facilitate discussions with MSRC and engage in meetings with module leaders and Year 3 leads to devise innovative solutions and enhancements for our cohort. Additionally, I am prepared to nominate myself as an Assessment Representative, ensuring effective communication with assessment leads to address any issues that may arise.

I am excited to bring my proactive problem-solving skills and collaborative approach to this role, striving to enhance the experience of our Year 3 medical students.

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are doing well both academically and personally. I would like to once again ask you for the opportunity to run as your Year Representative and continue the journey of representing you all throughout the course from early Gateway, Year 1, Year 2 and hopefully Year 3.

As an individual with a strong background with MSRC, I believe over the years I have learnt and gained skills that allow me to raise your concerns, big or small and effectively communicate this to staff whom I have built a good working relationship with. I personally believe that being a rep isn't just about raising and being the voice of students but also is about striving to strengthen the strong community that we have built, through learning, embracing and being aware of the individual aspects that make us, us.

Lastly, going into Year 3 is likely to be another big change for us all in terms of transitioning from mainly lecture based learning to a more placement/independent learning environment. Placement brings about wide range of challenges such as distance to travel, timings, socialising and funding and if elected I along with the other reps will work to provide solutions to these challenges and not confine to the "That's how it is" approach that we often allow ourselves to fall into.

Thank you for taking the time out to read my statement and I hope I am given to represent you all for another year!

Hi everyone, my names Basil, and I want to be your MSRC rep for Year 3!! :D

I would love to be the bridge between yourselves as 3rd years and the medical school, enabling you to voice your hopes and concerns regarding the curriculum and day-to-day life as a medic, which myself and our rep team can then forward to modules leads and discuss futher action that can/needs to be taken.

The transition from Y2 to Y3 has been described as a difficult shift by many of the older years, since we go from almost a full week of lectures to no lectures and 3-5 days of placement. This as a result can lead the year getting more dispersed, since we see eachother less often (apart from placement).

I would try mitigate this for next year by talking with the leads to advocate for day/night outs, maybe once/twice a term, to enable everyone stay in touch as a year in a less academic setting. I would love to hear your suggestions on how we could do this!

Though I have not previously been on MSRC before and can not promise you that the leads will implement every change/recommendation brought up, I can promise I will give it my all to bring about change to our curriculum for the betterments of our studies, and most importantly our wellbeing.

Multiple shoutouts for taking the time to read this. Thank you! :)

Hi guys!

For the past two years I have acted as first and second year rep on committee, so I am very familiar with this role and the details of how it works. This year, I was also awarded Year Representative of the Term which demonstrates the hard work and dedication I have put forward in this role. Being year rep has been such a valuable experience for me and I would love to continue this role into the future by becoming one of your third-year representatives.

Acting as year rep involves working together to collect feedback and raise any issues/concerns the year group may have to ensure everyone’s questions and concerns are listened and responded to. If I get elected, I will make sure anything that anyone wants to raise is done so as quickly as possible and that it is properly considered. Owing to my past experience on committee, I am familiar with all the routes of communication with the School of Medicine staff and who best to contact in these situations.

Furthermore, and perhaps most importantly, if anyone needs any help or support, I will try my hardest to be there for them if they reach out to me. The step-up from our pre-clinical to clinical years is big, and I think it is important for us to foster a collaborative and supportive environment for everyone to ensure our Uni and medical school experience runs as smoothly as possible, and I will try my best to make sure this happens.

Thank you for reading and considering my statement. I hope I have your vote!
